A travelogue as catharsis, “i was a strong man until i left home” blends footage from several trips across North America, by plane, train and car.

Employing a method he refers to as ‘Digital Sketching,’ “i was a strong man until i left home” possesses the intimacy of a flip through an artist’s sketchbook.
